Leonardo' s Anatomy studies and drawings

  • The students from "L. Montini" Middle School from Campobasso - Italy have coped with Leonardo's Anatomy studies and they have reproduced some of his drawings since they were studying the human body with their Science teacher.

    Then they also had to do searches in order to find the correct caption for each drawing.

    We can tell that the drawings are not of a living model because they follow the methods of Leonardo's drawings of his dissections of the body.

    The essential features of the venous patterns of the upper trunk and arm are superbly illustrated.

     

    Nobody before Leonardo had drawn the human skeleton so accurately nor so beautifully.

                                     

    The positions of the spine with its curves, the tilt of the sacrum, and how they relate to the statics of the erect posture are correct to the last detail.

    Copying Leonardo's drawings we could appreciate and better understand his unique skills.
